'no person could be really well . . . without spending at least six
weeks by the sea every year' In Sanditon, Jane Austen writes what
may well be the first seaside novel: a novel, that is, that
explores the mysterious and startling transformations that a stay
by the sea can work on individuals and relationships. Sanditon is a
fictitious place on England's south coast and the obsession of
local landowner Mr Thomas Parker. He means to transform this humble
fishing village into a fashionable health resort to rival its
famous neighbours of Brighton and Eastbourne. In this, her final,
unfinished work, the writer sets aside her familiar subject matter,
the country village with its settled community, for the transient
and eccentric assortment of people who drift to the new resort, the
town built upon sand. If the ground beneath her characters' feet
appears less secure, Austen's own vision is opening out. Light and
funny, Sanditon is her most experimental and poignant work.
